Take it you have already done a speed awareness course, as there is no mention of being offered one.

Aardvark, you may have hit the nail on the head. I reached state payment age in April and my colleague is 40 years my junior.

Non-motoring legal advice / Company medical insurance
« on: October 31, 2025, 04:02:59 pm »
I am pretty sure I will live the life of a retired person. I resigned from my company 18th July 2025, after having worked for the company 2 years and 1 day.
As result of being an old fart on state pension, every penny is a prisoner. Going to make this as simple as possible.
Found out that HMRC were taxing me as having a medical insurance benefit of £484 for 2025 and 2026. Through emails with HR, they advised that I was taxed at income source. Managed to resolve this with HMRC and expect to be reimbursed for paying tax on a benefit that was already taxed at source.
So I checked my payslips and confirmed I was taxed at source, whilst my colleagues benefits are £61+ a month for 2025 to 2026. Mine are as follows.
April 2025 £148+
May 2025 £148+
June 2025 £148+
July 2025 £90+
I informed HR of the anomaly and her response was ludicrous. Having gone into the mathematics of the medical benefits,
I find myself alienated with very little response from HR.
So I guess what I am inviting members advice on the steps I should take in order for being reimbursed for extra tax that I have paid at income source by the company.

A duress of circumstances are normally only considered if you felt your life was in danger imposed upon you by external circumstances.
In your situation upon such a situation the court would simply take the view that you should not have continued driving given the circumstances of that present medical situation, as this would be deemed to be a danger to other road users.
Sorry to hear of your medical health, which appears to occur occasionally under circumstances when you are driving.

If you have pleaded not guilty to the alleged offences, you are entitled to disclosures of the evidence, which incorporates any statements and video evidence. Video evidence will corroberate the police officers evidence. Whilst there is no mention of a second police officer, however if there was two officers then each officer can corroberate the other officers evidence.
What ever device they use, this needs to be corroberated by the police officers evidence.
Police officers are highly trained, competent and experienced in such matters.
There is no second guessing what the police officer saw or did not see, your defence will be extremely flimsy. You have to look at what you did or not do at the time. If there is good possibility that you did at some point commit the allegations, then you must consider changing your plea to guilty. Also, consider if you had been riding longer than the 2 year probation period, would you still be wandering down the path of pleading not guilty.

I am very simple in my answers these days as I get older.
You need to fill the form in for your father, naming you as thedriver with your name and address, and then just get him to sign the form. Send it off and hopefully you will get the option of a speed awareness course or £100 fine and 3 points.
Your fathers failure to respond will financially cost your family more and the 6 points on your fathers license may not matter to you or your father.

« on: October 06, 2025, 11:52:26 am »The car park was quiet, although not deserted, and it was not part of a big big car meet etc, although the carpark is known for that and hence probably why the police was about.
No doubt the police will comment in their statement that the car park is known as a big car meet, which is a polite way of putting boy racers meet.

Let us assume the 41 in a 40 is correct. This carries the same penalty as a 41 in a 30.
Unfortunately for you the NIP must be replied to regardless of the speed limit.
The CPS can bring about a successful prosecution for being 1 MPH over the limit.
Questioning the accuracy of the equipment is a rabbit hole you don't want to go down. So, I suggest you take the blue pill.

Non-motoring legal advice / HMRC Tax Rebates
« on: September 19, 2025, 03:05:44 pm »
I found out today that the HMRC no longer reimburse you a cheque for paying tax.
They now refer you to a company Fairsfair for claiming your tax rebate. Apparently thins started June 2025.
My friend went through this company, as directed by HMRC, providing his claim of £60.10. The Fairs fair reimbursed him for £31.71.
Surely this is wrong on so many levels.
